GRAND PRIZE DRAW: Within fifteen (15) days of the end of the Promotion Period, an independent judging organization (the “Promotion Judges”) will randomly draw one (1) entry (the “Potential Winners” of the Sweepstakes Prize from among all eligible entries received. The odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received during the entire Promotion Period. The random draw will be held in San Diego, CA, USA. The Potential Winner will be eligible to win the Sweepstakes prize, subject to verification of eligibility under these Official Rules.

Once selected, the Grand prize contestants odds of winning the Grand prize are 1 in 220. The selected Grand prize contestant will then be presented twelve (12) OBC Million Dollar Sweepstake security draw envelopes. The contestant will be asked to open three (3) of the security draw envelopes for a chance to match the three (3) winning symbols. The contestant wins the Grand Prize if successful in matching the three winning symbols.

If I read this correctly, and I’m not certain that I am, they are choosing one person who has a one in 220 chance of winning the one million dollars (cue Dr. Evil laugh). Then the odds plummet to a number I can’t begin to fathom.

I would expect any member to be able to enter, one of them wins a million dollars. I’m not even going to get out my abacus to figure out the odds based on the current rules. Did you buy this from a company that sells sweepstakes?

OBC is the new kid on the casual dating block and they have a great speedboat but we are paying attention to their every move.
